Norwich City has announced that its Yellows restaurant will revert to only being open on matchdays.

A club spokesman explained that it is "no longer viable" for Yellows Bar and Grill to open on non-matchdays.

It has been confirmed that the Carrow Road restaurant will close as a standalone venue after its evening service this Saturday.

"Yellows Bar and Grill will continue to open on matchdays serving food and drinks before and after the match and will also be available to hire as a private venue.

"Unfortunately, due to reduced footfall and the road outside continually being closed, Yellows Bar and Grill is no longer viable as a standalone restaurant on non-matchdays.

"We thank all our customers for their support."
